Details

Spikescape is a fast-paced 3D arcade platformer built for quick, pick-up-and-play sessions. Collect objectives to boost your score, but every objective you get grows your trail of spikes. Can you avoid hitting your own trail? The game is designed for both casual players and high-score enthusiasts, offering short, intense gameplay that rewards precision and timing.

Development Notes:

• Spikescape was developed for a game jam with strict shape limitations. In 2D elements, only circles and regular pentagons are allowed, while 3D elements are limited to spheres and square pyramids. These restrictions influenced level design, gameplay objects, and UI elements, giving the game a distinct geometric style.
